NEW YORK. July 1. (Special.)
At half past three tomorrow after
noon or shortly after, either Georges
Carpcntier of France, will be the
.champion of the world, or Jack Demp
sey of America will still be invincible
kini? of the rjng.
As the time for the big fight draws
close, Carpentier's chances are taken
more seriously because of the intense
confidence in his fighting powers ex
pressed by visiting Knglishmen who
have seen him in action.
To the man. the visitors say that
Carpentier will whip Dempsey. Not
that they know anything about Jack
they simply assert that Carpentier
Is the greatest fighter they've ever
seen, that his ring strategy is in
comparable, his defense perfect, his
hitting ability accurate and hard
enough to knock out any man living,
and his strength sufficient to his
needs. Dempsey, they say, is a big
fellow, stronger than Carpentier, a
good boxer, a. hard hitter, anything
you want to claim for him, but still
inferior tp Carpentier. B
No KtrvoDanm Showed.
American ring followers are just
as enthusiastic over Dempsey. They
know ho is better 'than any other
heavyweight we have had since Jef
fries' best days, and in many ways
better than Jeffries.
He may not have Jeffs tremendous
strength and endless stamina, but he
makes up for that by being a born
fighter. He may not have flashy box
in a; style, but he is aggressive and ef
fective. He is game, strong, fast, en
during and a natural fighter all the
way through. He is good enough for
Americans to consider him a 3-to-l
favorite against any opponent we
could name, domestic or foreign.
The chances are that Dempsey will
win. whether the fight is short or
long, but it will be a hard contest and
no sure thing for either' man
Dempsey's last few hours at his
Airport camp were passed cheerfully.
He showed no trace of nervousness.
110 nearer the time comes to get into
the ring the happier Dempsey is. It's
always that way with him. He likes
to get through with the long train
ing grind and be in waiting for the
first bell to ring and the fight to
beirin. Nothing worries him then He
arrived in Jersey City to be hidden
from all visitors and will not be In
the picture again until his black
curly head bobs under the ropes and
he climbs Into the ring.
Carpentier No Lena Tranquil.
Carpentier's last moments before
the big event were no less tranquil.
He sat on his porch at Manhasset. the
training work over, and studied his
fight plan. Carpentier has been un
worried, as far as I could see. ever
since he arrived at training quarters.
Ill has been through too many big
things to have nerves over a ring
bout. Yet, as far as Carpentier is
concerned, today is the greatest in his
life. Kor the first time he is where
the eyes of the world are on him
He fought through the war, 'very
creditably, but over there he was only
one man in millions. Now he is one
of two. Success then may have meant
life or death, but millions were
gambling with their lives. That was
.the ordinary thing, quite common
place The eyes of the world were not
on him, and If he attracted any of
ficial attention it appeared In a few
lines on a bulletin board. Now he
feels that he alone, represents France.
Advantages on Both Sides.
Yet, he is calmer than any other
man in his camp. He'll be cold and
determined when he faces Dempsey in
the ring. Dempsey is noted for his
grim concentration on the fight. Here
we will have two men absolutely de
termined to be the one irresistible
force in attack and the immovable
body in- defense, it is the old scien
tific puzzle all over again. And the
answer to it is that one or the other
will be irresistible. Will it be Demp
sey or Carpentier?
Physically there are advantages on
each side. Dempsey is about IS pounds
heavier and two Inches taller. I
measured Jack . last week. He has
grown three-quarters of an Inch since
the Willard fight and stands Just 6
feet 1 inches in his bare feet. Car
pentier is 5 feet 11 inches tall.
Dempsey's weight two days before the
bout was 190 pounds, and Carpentier's
172.
Bullda Are Different.
In build the men are of different
type. Dempsey has a heavy jaw, a
thick short neck, and a generally deep,
rounded body, well muscled all over
and apparently showing good lines
for endurance.
Carpentier has a long neck, not
thick but well in proportion, high
cheekbones and a Jaw that is wide
but not heavy. His body is that of
a trained gymnast. He is wide and
not deep. His shoulders are broad
and well muscled. His neqk is wedge
shaped with long banks of muscle
extending from the arm pits to Just
auout the waist. His chest and body
are flat. From in front or behind
he looks like a heavyweight, and
from the side more like a lithe
middle weight.
Dempsey a legs are straight lined,
tapering evenly from hip to heel with
no bulging muscles. They are rather
light for his powerful torso. Car
pentier's legs are very long from
hip to knee and very short below
the knee. His calves are the big
gest thing about him, with big
bulging muscles. He uses these
powerful calves by fighting well up
on his toes. This gives him added
helghth if he wants to use it.
Polio's Hitting; Peculiar.
Carpentier hasa peculiar laiack
of hittrtng, using the long banks of
muscles along his sides to put driving
force into the blow.
Yesterday 1 had a talk with a well
Jtnown Englishman sportsman who
has passed years in Australia and in
the country following boxing. He
has seen Dempsey fight, and says
that he thinks him one of the best
heavyweights that ever held the
championship.
"But Carpentier has practically an
even chance to win," he said. "I've
seen Carpentier in five fights. His
training here has been mere fooling.
But that's the way he always trains.
He never shows anything in training.
When he goes into a fight he is an
entirely different man. He is In
tensely concentrated on winning
He is a well-balanced boxer with a
perfect body defense, shifty foot
work and two good hands.
He has a great left and use it all
the time, but bis right hand is the
finisher. He never lets that right go
unless he is sure of landing, and when
he lands right he can knock down any
man living. I have a few dollars that
I'm going to bet on the proposition
that if there's a knockdown in the
first round, Carpentier will land it.
He may not keep Dempsey down, for
Dempsey is very rugged, but I
wouldn't be surprised if he dropped
Jack with the first blow struck. I
think he has an even chance to stop
Dempsey and I'm sure you're going to
see a corking fight, no matter which
way it goes.
"I saw Carpentier knock Gunboat
Smith out clean after a minute and a
half In the fourth round. The time
keeper counted nine and then rang
the bell to announce a knockout, but
through a mixup Smith was allowed
to start again.
PoHn Nailed on Floor.
"Carpentier moved around until' he
had Smith open for another right and
let it ,go. Only an accident saved
Smith. He slipped and Carpentier's
punch grazed him. Carpentier was
swung off his feet by missing that
punch, and fell to his hands and
knees, and then Smith nailed him
while he was on the floor. Smith was
good then. He had just taken a 12
round win over Langford. Carpentier
outclassed him. Dempsey may beat
Carpentier by outlasting him, but
there won't be much difference be
tween them in punching ability. Car-

penti'er Is a great boxer and can take I
care of himself, and if Jack is a little!
slow he'll never give the Frenchman
any trouble."
That may all be true, but Dempsey
isn't weak in shifty skill and effec
tive hitting himself. Dempsey was
a good fighter when he began. He
earned a reputation as a knocker-out
in his first preliminary bouts. He
learned boxing by strapping his right
arm to his side, using his left and
ducking around punches.
He is a natural ring general. "When
he fought big Carl Morris in New Or
leans he walked over and, diving un
der Morris' guard, hooked a left into
the pit of the big man's stomach a
clean knockout with one blow. With
Fulton he stepped a few feet from
his corner and waited. When Fulton
jabbed and caught both of Dempsey's
arms to hold them to his side, Demp
sey simply turned his body until his
left arm was away from Fulton and
hooked an overhand left to Fulton's
head that dazed him. Three more
punches and Fulton was out In less
than 15 seconds of boxing.
Against Willard, Dempsey stepped
in and retreated alternately. He al
most turned his back to Willard in
stepping away, and Willard followed.
Whirling around Dempsey slipped un
der Willard's jab and delivered a right
to the body and a left to the head.
Willard never remembered what hap
pened after that.
Short Blows, Says Brf nnan.
Dempsey let Miske make a good
start, and then hit him on the ribs
with a right hand, practically leaving
him defenseless. With Brennan he
took a lot of beating in early rounds,
weathered it, and sapped Brennan's
strength with short Inside body blows
before dropping him in the 12th.
Brennan was conscious but he couldn't
get up.
The arena built for the fight in Jer
sey City is the biggest ever con
structed since Rome put up the Coli
seum. It seats more than 94.000 per
sons. The crowd will start early and
tubes and ferries will be jammed. For
hours before the bout and for hours
after it scores of tugs and private
yachts and launches will help ferry
persons- across the Hudson.
The police will establish lines two
blocks from the arena, allowing only
ticket holders to go through. As there
are 18 entrances and 400 ushers and
600 police inside, there should be no
trouble in getting to the seat any
ticket calls for. The counterfeit
tickets that have been seised are
easily distinguished from the genuine.
Hnge Sum Drawn.
The big fight will draw about
$1,500,000, perhaps even $1,600,000.
This is more money than all the
heavyweight championship fights In
America in which titles changed
hands have drawn, lumped together.
Sullivan and Co-rbett, Corbett and
Fitzsimmons, Fits and Jeffries, Jef
fries and Johnson, Johnson and Wil
lard, Willard and Dempsey all of
these great championship battles to
gether drew only a Tittle more than
half the sum paid by 90.000 fight
fans to see Dempsey and Carpentier.
For the total gate the promoters
might have tossed in about 30 fights
like the McGovern-Corbett, Erne-La-vigne,
Gans-Nelson, Wolgast-Ritchie,
Leonard-Welch, fitzsimmons-Demp-
sey. McAuliffe-Carney, and they
would still be running the show at
a profit.
Tex Rickard paid more than $260,
000 for building the arena, which is
two amd a half times what the same
arena built at Toledo cost him. He
paid out so much money for every
thing he got before this bout, and
has such taxes to pay, that with the
$500,000 paid Dempsey and Carpen
tier he had to take in more than a
million dollars before he could break
even with the expenses.
They had a saying around New York
that Rickard would be lucky to get
out of New Jersey with his cane. But
it looks as if he'll make a fair profit
of the greatest sporting venture ever
attempted by a promoter.

CHALLEXGEB LIGHT-HEARTED
Whistling American AVar Song, Car
pentier Trips to Bed.
MANHASSET. N. Y.. July 1. (By
the Associated Press.) Whistling an
American war song, Georges Carpen
tier tripped up the stairs of his train
ing camp residence at 9 o'clock to
night, called a cheery "good-night"
to hia comrades and jumped intobed.
Throughout the day the challenger
was light-hearted. There was al
ways a song on his lips and a smile
on his face.
He seemed cblivious of the fact
that his chaxe at the long-desired
world's heary weight championship
was less than 24 hours away. Fight
talk was under the fn.
The challenger braved a heavy rain
at reveille today and was soaked to
the skin when he returned from the
road three-quarters of an hour later.
Georges received a good rubdown and
was swathed in blankets. Ha stayed
indoors until after luncn, then went
to the porch and his camp chair.
"There will be no fooling to
morrow," said , Francois Descamps.
Georges' manager, tonight. "Georges
is in great condition, better than he
ever was in his life, and we can offer
no excuse. In fact we are confident.
Of course, it would be silly to eay
riatiy that ueorgea would win, be
cause you never can tell what might
happen.
"Trainer Wilson said before we
came over that If he could get
Georges in as good condition as he
was for the Joe Beckett fight, he
didn't believe Dempsey could defeat
him. Georges is even better than he
was for Beckett, and there's your an
swer. "The fight will not be shopped.
Either Georges will knock out Demp
sey or Dempsey will knock out
Georges. My Carpentier, he will fight
as he has never fought before be
cause he wants that championship.
He isn't worrying one bit about it.
He knows how he feels and he tells
me he will go to it." Then Trainer
Wilson spoke:
"Many people think that this will
be a dancing exhibition. I am not
saying that Carpentier will dive in
foolishly and slug from the moment
the first bell rings, -but I do mean
that he will fight Dempsey and fight
him viciously.
"I have been against Carpentier in
many of his bouts. For instance, I
conditioned Joe Jeannette for his
fight with Georges in Paris some
years ago. When Joe went into the
ring I cautioned him to be wary of
Georges' right."
"Joe said, Oh, this boy can't hurt
me, he's Just a kid,' but along during
the fight Joe feinted with his left
and started a right. Georges dodged
it neatly and hit Joe squarely with
an overhanded right. Jeannette went
to the floor like a piece of lead and
stayed down for a count of nine.
"Georges Is dangerous and I think
the greatest fighter of the world to
day. They talk about Dempsey being
too strong Tor mm. 1 want to know
if any of these persons making such
remarks ever saw Joe Beckett. Beck
ett could pick up Georges in one
hand and Dempsey In the other and
knock their heads together; he is
that strong. Yet Georges floored
him in one round.
"It's all a matter of ring knowl
edge, and Georges knows too much
for the champion."
Georges will remain in camp to
morrow until 11:30 o'clock, when
lunch will be served. Then he will
motor to Port Washington and go
aboard the yacht Lone Star. When
the craft puts out into the sound
Georges will lie down for a nap. The
boat w'll dock in Jersey City at 1:45
o'clock and will be met by a detail
of motorcycle policemen. The party
will motor in a round-about way to
the arena and be ready to go Into
the ring promptly at 3 o'clock.
FREEDMAX'S SHOWIXG IS GOOD
Challenger Expected to Give Leon

BENTON HARBOR. Mich.. July 1.
Sailor Freedman of Chicago, chal
lenger for Benny Leonard's light
weight title In their fight here Mon
day, today went through . workout
that left little doubt among the
spectators that he will give Leonard
one of the toughest fights of the lat
ter' s career.
Freedman today looked better, than
at any time in his brief career. The
youthful fighter made -. no defense,
while boxing mates swung on his
jaw, jabbed at his stomach and
pounded his head. Freedman only
laughed.
He tipped the scales just under 137,
the weight stipulated for 10 A. M.
Monday. Tomorrow he will box
three rounds and rope skipping and
light exercises on Sunday will finish
the training.

2 BOATS SUNK IN RACING
RFGATTA AT PEORIA FILLED
WITH THRILLS.
One Clipper Throws Its Handlers
Into Lake and Barely Misses
Plunging Into Them.
PEORIA, 111., July 1. Two boats
sank to the bottom of the river and
another threw Its handlers into the
waters of Peoria lake at the opening
of the Mississippi Valley power boat
regatta here today.
Dr. William W. . Cutter of Peoria
had the narrowest escape of the day
when his boat Famuss threw him
and two companions into the water
while approaching a turn at a speed
of 45 miles an hour. The boat then
righted Itself, circled and missed the
three men by less than 15 feet on the
return trip.
Miss Chicago, owned by Commodore
Sheldon Clarke of Chicago, shattered
all records for the 25-mile stretch
when she covered the distance by
averaging 66 mites an hour for the
course in the first heat of the Webb
trophy race.
Roland Travis of Peoria, driving
Cadillac IV, lost control of his boat
at the finish of the first heat in the
380 class when tiller ropes sl'pped on
the drum. The boat barely missed
C. P. Henley's Ethel IX from Mus
catine, la., and charged toward the
launches that lined the bank before
it was brought under control.
Later in the day Ethel IX turned
over and went to the bottom on a
sharp turn during the first heat in
the 7:05 class.
Meteor III, owned by Walter Wilde
of Peoria, turned over, throwing Its
occupants Into the water. Both
boats were raised and will be entered
tomorrow.
POILU'S JAB HELD DEADLY
Photographer Who Got Pictures of
Past Champions Says "Look Out."
EDEXBOWER, Or.. June 29. (To
the Sporting Editor.) Forty years
a photographer, mostly in the east,
I have photographed nearly all the
champion pugilists Sullivan. Fitz
simmons. Jack Dempsey, the Nonpa
reil, and others. My hobby was to
get them in front of my camera shad
ow boxing, and have them execute
their most vicious right and left
handers with my camera shutter set
at 1-500 of a second. In the result
ing negative I could see how far the
hand photographed had traveled In
that time and thus get an idea of
their real speed.
' John Lb Sullivan's hand would be
just slightly thickened, but the hand
of Dempsey, the Nonpareil, would
show about a two-inch movement.
The hand of Fitzsimmons one inch.
X student of mine, while In France,
took several pictures of Carpentier
under these same conditions, but
working the shutter at 1-700 of a
second. Georges' hand traveled about
six Inches in that time. Look out.
Jack Dempsey!
Carpentier Jn all the pictures was
on the tips of his toes. Delivering
hia blows from this position gives
his adversary the full heft of his
body as good measure. ,
The picture of Carpentier shadow
boxing, printed in The Oregonian the
other day, was, I presume, taken at
1-500 of a second and shows a de
cided movement. Had his body been
turned so the objective of his blows
was directly in front of the camera,
it would be a perfect example.
Should Carpentier be able to es
cape Dempsey's body blows, he will
chop Jack to pieces. Dempsey Is al
most physically unhurtable and ag
gressive In the extreme. But con
stant jabbing with steam and speed
would command Jack s respeot In i
round or two, and any man can b
knocked out by a powerful blow or
a tattoo of lesser ones. It looks to
me like 50-50 and take your choice.

MASCOTT'S CLEVER
MITTS WIN FOR HIM
Danny Edwards, Negro Flash,
Loses Decision. .
DOUBT IN MINDS OF FANS
Fight so Near a Stand-orf Best
Boy Hard to Determine Tar
1 Lad Has Reverse Jflgfct.
BY DICK SHARP.
There is still a doubt in many of The
fans' minds as to whom is the best
boy, Billy Mascott,. Pacific coast ban
tamweight champion, or Danny Ed-
- - 006Ai uH;i l s
THE DE MPSE V-CARPENT1ER
wards, the little Oakland, Cal., negro
flash.
True enough Mascott was awarded
the decision at the end of ten rounds
of fast milling In the main event of
last night's card at the Milwaukie,
but the shade was .nothing great
enough for him to crow about.
As a boxer Mascott is a pas master.
He is the hardest proposition in the
game to hit, takes advantage of every
opening and covers and counters with
equal ability. His delivery both at
long range and at close quarters last
night was a bit faulty until the ninth
and tenth rounds, but he was fighting
the best banty he has tackled In his
career.
Tar Boy Has Reverse Night.
Edwards weighed in at 119 pounds
at 3 o'clock while Mascott shivered the
beams at 118. Edwards had $300 up,
more than he was receiving for fight
ing Mascott, to make 118 pounds at 3
o'clock. Charley Yost, Mascott's man
ager, played Shylock and, demanding
his pound of flesh and not Vetting it
took Danny's $300. Taking things all
round, the aggressive colored battler
had quite a reverse night of it. It
was bad enough to lose the money
without having the decision lifted
over him.
The eighth session came near being
a fatal one for Mascott. After trying
vainly to cop Mascott with a solid
right-hand smash for seven rounds,
Edwards at last connected with a
crusher in the eighth. The round
was about over, which was a good
thing for Billy. The two were just
through breaking when Danny
brought in a short right smash and it
caught Billy flush. He sloshed back
into the ropes and came out dazed and
under cover. Edwards stepped off
and tried to measure him and was
forcing the going when the bell rang.
Mascott s exhibition of boxing was
wonderful, but did not far outclass
his wiry, ever-rushing opponent. Ed
wards was trying to plant Mascott
for the count throughout the battle
and had he paid a little more atten
tion to boxing Instead of trying to
nail Mascott he might have succeeded.
Edwards was too eager to set himself
and many times took Mascott's
punches without getting In a return.
Bell Saves Mickey.
Eddie Gorman came near knocking
Mickey Dempsey out in the six-round
semi-final. The bell came at a timely
moment for Mickey in the last canto
and had it been ten seconds later
Dempsey might have been counted out.
After putting up a nip-and-tuck bat
tle for five rounds Gorman stepped
out on high in the sixth and hit
Dempsey almost at will. Mickey took
everything Eddie had on the chin and
reeled around the ring, refusing to go
down, and kept coming in for more.
Gorman at last floored him and the
game youngster took the count of
seven, when he arose to his feet in
bad shape. .Gorman was setting for
a final drive when the gong sounded.
Mickey had the first round, causing
Gorman plenty of trouble. Eddie came
back the second canto and won it.
The third and fourth were even, with
both fighting hard. Gorman took the
fifth by hard fighting, but had to
take some lusty rights on the chin to
get in at Dempsey. The sixth was all
Gorman. Mickey is being rushed a bit
too fast and any more lacings will not
tend to help him any in his career. He
is a promising looking boy, can hit
as "hard as the best, is a fair boxer
and Is game to the core. All he needs
is experience.
Folate Loses Foal.
The scheduled six-round battle be
tween Johnny Fugate and Red Calla
han, young Portland lightweights,
ended suddenly in the first round
when Fugate knocked Callahan down
with a right cross and then caught
Red with a graing rigrht while the
latter was rising to his 'feet. Fugate
was overanxious and the blow was
entirely unintentional but cost him the
fight. The bout started off at a ter
rific pace and was toe-to-toe mlxiag
until Callahan went over. He was
coming up when Johnny caught him.
Both were willing to go on but the
referee had raised Callahan s hand, 0
the bout was officially over.
George Grey, short and rotund, put
Ham Cartwright, lean and lanky,
away in the fourth round of a sched
uled six-round setto. Cartwright was
setting a merry pace for Grey when
the latte lofted one from the floor
to Ham's chin and Ham was through
for the evening. They weighed 150
pounds.
Brick Coyle. Vancouver 122-pounder,
won over Johnny Vance of Vancouver,
in the second round in the curtain
raiser. Vance's seconds threw In the
towel when he went down in the
